Pros

Very inclusive culture. You work for a family, and the vision and values are well communicated

Cons

The last two years have been a whirlwind of change and it is hard to keep up with the changes in personnel and responsibilities. Some important support functions have had drops, such as HR and procurement. There are issues with career movement in R&D. The progression ladder does not exist and little has been communicated on how to be promoted. I have heard from a director that "we can hire the skills we need rather than develop those in the people we have". This is a very different tone from what I heard 5-6 years ago.

Pros

HQ building is pretty cool and you can get some neat tours of company facilities. Work life balance is generally pretty good.

Cons

The company just has no idea what its doing regarding IT. Most management has been there 25+ years and still wants to operate like its the 90s. Head of IT is an accountant and the department is treated like a necessary evil and employees are told they provide no tangible value. Making any kind of impact is actively discourage and 'stay in your lane' is a core tenet. If you want to just show up, grind, and go home, this is the place for you.
